Seamstress Services
What do seamstresses include?
Ready-to-wear clothes don’t always cut it. You may need a dress for a special occasion or an alteration to achieve a perfectly fitting suit. Or perhaps you simply need to repair a broken zip or mend a beloved garment. Whatever type of sewing you need, our platform connects you with nearby sewists who can do the task. Here’s a list of sewing services you can get done on Airtasker.
Pattern cutting
Pattern cutting is translating your design onto paper or digital form. The pattern serves as a template for creating wearable clothes. Achieve a bespoke dress that fits you perfectly, or create unique garments for your clothing business. Our platform helps you find local sewists with pattern cutting skills. Once your collection is ready, hire a model to pose in your clothes while a photographer takes amazing product photos for your website.
Dressmaking
You may find clothes you like, but the fit or size just doesn’t work for your body type. Or perhaps you have a dress in mind to wear to an event, but you can’t find it at shops near you. With the help of a dressmaker, you can still get the dress of your dreams. You can have a variety of clothes made, from midi dresses, ball gowns, to business suits.
Clothing repair
We all have our go-to outfits, and it can be heartbreaking to find a tear or a hole in an irreplaceable piece of clothing. Maybe you bought that shirt abroad, had it custom-made, or splurged on that one expensive dress or jacket. No need to say goodbye to your beloved garment just yet! Instead, find a seamstress or seamster who can fix up your clothes, so they look as good as new. Taskers may even offer to dry-clean your dresses after the repair.
Clothing alteration
Some clothes may fit well, except for an awkwardly loose part around the shoulders. Or pants could have a flattering fit but are far too long for your height. With clothing alteration, you no longer have to settle for ill-fitting clothes. A nearby local seamstress can alter your clothes to create custom-fit garments, whether it’s a new suit that needs to be tailored or hand-me-downs that need to be shortened. After your alteration, have a Tasker iron your suit, and you’re good to go for your business event!
Prom dressmaking
Prom is an exciting time in a teenagers’ life. Most pretty dresses, though, can leave a big dent in your wallet. With Airtasker, you can look like the belle of the ball at prom with a dress that was made just for you. Please tell us how we can help you achieve your dream dress. Then, wait for offers from experienced sewists who can work with your design, budget, and schedule. Afterwards, find affordable yet professional hair stylists and makeup artists to do your hair and help you achieve the perfect evening look on prom night.

Contract Sewer - Future Work
$200
Werribee VIC, Australia
17th Mar 2025
I'm currently on the search for a contract sewer for future work. Requirements: - Has experience in costume construction. - Experienced in a range of materials from faux leather to faux suede to spandex and rayon, etc. - Lives close to Werribee to collect the supplies. - Able to work on a timeline. - Attention to detail. - Attend fortnightly meetings either face to face or zoom. - Digital pattern making a plus but not essential. All supplies are provided (most patterns, all fabrics, notions, etc) Paid per garment I'm a sewer myself so I can direct you through each project and how I need it done. One of the first costumes I need completed has the photo attached (only require bodice and sleeves without embellishments) Comment below with your price, how long your turnaround will be and previous experiences in sewing. I will be viewing airtasker profiles for reviews of previous jobs and photos.

Altona VIC 3018, Australia

I have this dress, funnily enough from Kmart. I bought it a few years ago and I just love it, I’ve loved it to the point it’s looking a little rough now. I was looking to get someone that’s a whiz with a sewing machine to make a pattern for it and recreate the dress for me. It’s just the perfect summer dress and I’d love to pick some fabrics and get it made in a few different colours. I also have a few dresses I need altered that I would love to discuss before I shorten them with someone that understands design and will tell me if it can be done correctly without ruining the dress and looking weird. Very flexible on price etc as I understand there will be materials involved that aren’t fixed price. Happy to travel to someone but prefer someone, some what locally so I don’t have to travel to far to deliver the dress etc :)

Werribee VIC, Australia

I need to have 11 flags sewn. I have the materials and just need them sewn together. They need to be block colours - ie blue at the top, red and then yellow. They also need to have a 35mm pocket on the side to insert a pole. They are only for the football so they dont need to be perfect. They would be as follows. 5 X horizontal blue at the top, red middle, 6 X vertical blue on the left, red middle and yellow right. The photo attached with the circled image highlights roughly what they would look like
